Pilgrims Antiques. West Street Dorking. Room 1 Bill's corner.

This week we will have a look at the final area in Room 1, the room you enter as you come through the door.

Bill has a small corner, crammed full of what we seem to call "boy's toys".
This label can cover many items - and lots of them actually many women would also be interested in.
He has vehicles of all kinds, soldiers, farms, binoculars and all sorts of odds and ends.
I notice that just at the moment he has no old cameras.
Things come and they go.
It is never possible to know what items of interest will turn up each week.


Bill is my husband. We do a lot together, including the buying and selling.
He is in the shop with me on on Mondays. Do come and see him or phone him if there is anything you would like to discuss or show him in his line.

The pictures tell their own stories really.
We both took these photographs; photography is another hobby that we share.














I do know that those dear little eggcups with 1950s motor cars on have already been sold.
Oh dear - can you imagine one of the men referring to them as "dear little egg cups?"






Last week the typewriter got moved to my area at the back of the shop.
Sometimes Bill looks after things that I am selling because I don't use a lockable cabinet.






Come on you men - there must be something here for your collection - or maybe drop a few hints at home so that the gift you get on your next birthday is something you really want!
Next week we will move up the few steps to Room 2.
